2 SECTION 2.1 INTRODUCTION TO VARIABLES A. WHAT IS A VARIABLE? When someone is having trouble with algebra, they may say, I don t speak math! While this may seem weird to you, it is a true statement. Math, like English, French, Spanish, or Arabic, is a like a language that you must learn in order to be successful. In order to understand math, you must practice the language. Action words, like run, jump, or drive, are called verbs. In mathematics, operations are like verbs because they involve doing something. Some operations are familiar, such as addition, multiplication, subtraction, or division. Operations can also be much more complex like a raising to an exponent or taking a square root. A variable is one of the most important concepts of mathematics, without variables we would not get far in this study. A variable is a symbol, usually an English letter, written to replace an unknown or changing quantity. Definitions A variable, usually represented by a letter or symbol, can be defined as: A quantity that may change within the context of a mathematical problem. A placeholder for a specific value. An algebraic expression is a mathematical statement that can contain numbers, variables, and operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc ). MEDIA LESSON Introduction to variables and variable expressions (Duration 7:54) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below.

Definitions of a variable 1) Define variable as a changing value A variable is a letter that represents or that may within the context of a mathematical problem. Example: 2) Define variable as a placeholder A variable is a letter that represents or that will remain based on the confines of the mathematical problem. Example: Example: Determine if the description describes a changing value (CV) or a placeholder (P) then determine a possible variable. Changing Value (CV) or Scenario Variable Placeholder (P) The elevation of Mount Humphrey s The water level of a pool as it is being filled The number of calories consumed throughout the day The monthly car payment with a fixed interest loan The amount of gas consumed by your car as you drive The cost of a new textbook for a specific class from the bookstore at the beginning of the semester YOU TRY Scenario The number of cars in the parking lot at this moment The number of cars pass by an intersection throughout the day The altitude of an airplane during a trip The temperature in the Dead Valley on at midnight on January 1 st in 1905 The balance of your checking account today Changing Value (CV) or Placeholder (P) Variable 92

Why the multiplication sign x is not being used much when we get to algebra? MEDIA LESSON Why is 'x' the symbol for an unknown? (Duration 3:57) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below. Why is it that x is the unknown? C. VARIABLE EXPRESSIONS In mathematics, especially in algebra, we look for patterns in the numbers that we see. Using mathematical verbs and variables studied in previous lessons, expressions can be written to describe a pattern. Definition An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase combining numbers and/or variables using mathematical operations. An algebraic expression consists of coefficients, variables, and terms. Given an algebraic expression, a coefficient is the number in front of the variable. variable is a letter representing any number. term is a product of a coefficient and variable(s). constant: a number with no variable attached. A term whose value never changes. For example, t, 2x, 3st, 7x 2, 5ab 3 c are all examples of terms because each is a product of a coefficient and variable(s). 5xy 2 term 2x term 3 constant term MEDIA LESSON Algebraic expression vocabulary (Duration 5:52) View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below.

12 F. LIKE TERMS AND COMBINE LIKE TERMS Definition Two terms are like terms if the base variable(s) and exponent on each variable are identical. For example, 3x 2 y and 7x 2 y are like terms because they both contain the same base variables, x and y, and the exponents on x (the x is squared on both terms) and y are the same. Combining like terms: If two terms are like terms, we add (or subtract) the coefficients, then keep the variables (and exponents on the corresponding variable) the same.
